Benefits of technology

The patent describes a way to make a semiconductor device that takes up less space, is cheaper, and provides good power quality. This makes it possible to create a three-dimensional arrangement of components more efficiently.

Problems solved by technology

From among the above, wire bonding has such a problem that the mounting volume increases because the chips must be layered on top of each other in such a manner that the chips are shifted from each other so as not to cover the openings for wire bonding pads for power supply.
In addition, the current capacity per bonding wire is small and there is an upper limit in the number of bonding wires, and therefore, there is a problem that a sufficient power supply quality cannot be gained.
However, a relatively large gap through which the tape for TAB passes through between the layered chips is required, and there is a problem such that the pitch between the chips in the direction in which the chips are layered is large.
However, additional processes for creating holes in a silicon body, forming an insulating film on the inner wall surface of the holes, filling the holes in with an electrode, and connecting the electrodes to bumps, and therefore, there is a problem that the manufacturing costs are high.

example 1

[0086]Next, the multilayer semiconductor integrated circuit device according to Example 1 of the present invention is described in reference to FIGS. 5A through 10K as an example where three memory chips that are the same are layered on top of each other. As illustrated in FIG. 5A, first, B ions with a dosage of 1×1016 cm−2 are implanted into a p− type Si substrate 21 with an energy for acceleration of 200 keV so as to form a p++ type well region 22 having a size of 0.1 mm×7 mm, and then, P ions with a dosage of 1×1016 cm−2 are implanted into the p− type Si substrate 21 with an energy for acceleration of 200 keV so as to form an n++ type well region 23 having a size of 0.1 mm×7 mm. Next, heat treatment is carried out for 50 hours at 1,050° C. so that the implanted ions are activated, and at the same time are diffused deeper in the direction of the thickness of the substrate. Here, the oxide film formed on the surface of the substrate as a result of heat treatment is removed if neces...

example 2

[0097]Next, the multilayer semiconductor integrated circuit device according to Example 2 of the present invention is described in reference to FIG. 11, which illustrates only the final structure because the basic manufacturing process and the basic structure are the same as in Example 1. FIG. 11 is a schematic cross-sectional diagram illustrating the multilayer semiconductor integrated circuit device according to Example 2 of the present invention, wherein a high impurity well region is not formed in the semiconductor integrated circuit device in the final tier (the third tier at the bottom in the figure), and the rest of the configuration is the same as in Example 1.

[0098]Thus, it is not necessary for the chip in the final stage to convey the power supply to the next tier, and therefore, a high impurity well region is not necessary. Accordingly, in the case where chips having different properties are layered on top of each other, the arrangement of a particular chip in the final t...

example 3

[0099]Next, the multilayer semiconductor integrated circuit device according to Example 3 of the present invention is described in reference to FIG. 12, which illustrates only the final structure because the basic manufacturing process and the basic structure are the same as in Example 1. FIG. 12 is a schematic cross-sectional diagram illustrating the multilayer semiconductor integrated circuit device according to Example 3 of the present invention, wherein micro-bumps 66 are used for the connection between chips instead of ordinary temperature pressure applying connection, and the rest of the configuration is the same as in Example 1.

[0100]Thus, micro-bumps 66 are used for the connection between chips so that the connection between chips can further be made strong electrically and mechanically.

Abstract

The invention relates to a multilayer semiconductor integrated circuit device which is provided with a smaller space for a three-dimensional multilayer configuration at a lower cost and with a sufficient power supply quality. A first semiconductor integrated circuit device is provided with a first penetrating semiconductor region that penetrates through the first semiconductor body in the thickness direction and that is connected to the first power supply potential, and a second penetrating semiconductor region that penetrates through the first semiconductor body in the thickness direction and that is connected to the second power supply potential. A second semiconductor integrated circuit device having a first electrode and a second electrode is layered on top of the first semiconductor integrated circuit device so that the first electrode and the second electrode are respectively connected to the first penetrating semiconductor region and the second penetrating semiconductor region.
